A simple TDMA protocol is assumed, and analysis developed to bound not only the communications delays, but also the delays and overheads incurred when messages are processed by the protocol stack at the destination processor. The report illustrates how a window-based analysis technique can be used to find the worst-case response times of a distributed task set. An extended example illustrating the application of the analysis is presented." This report is only one of several reports and papers written at York which can be obtained via FTP.

Participants are encouraged to submit their abstracts by electronic mail (DVI and Postscript, uuencoded as necessary, to bard@cs.cornell.edu). If electronic submission is not possible, please send six copies to Bard Bloom. The deadline for receipt of abstracts is June 1. Authors will be informed of acceptance or rejection by June 15. A proceedings in the form of a collection of abstracts (or full papers as available) will be provided at the workshop and later available as a tech report from Cornell. Program Committee B. Bloom R.

The interest on these topics is confirmed by the large submission of papers (about 90 received from 23 different countries) even if the acceptance ratio was only 1:3 due to the lack of space in the programme. Parallel sessions, in fact, have been avoided in order to give delegates the opportunity to make questions and exchange opinions and therefore many good papers had to be rejected. Each presentation will last 30 minutes including 10 minutes for questions. Besides the various sessions, the program includes a panel session on "Real- Time Scheduling", organized by S.H. Son from the University of Virginia, where the panelists will identify the most important contributions in the field and try to discuss whether the field is now mature and what do we need in the next five years. A special presentation on "Provable Correct Systems" by A. Ravn from the Technical University of Denmark and a special session on "Reactime Intelligent Systems" proposed by M. Adelantado from ONERA- CERT/DERI (France) are also included. The selected papers cover a wide range of issues such as modeling, architecture, scheduling, operating systems, prototyping, timing analysis, fault tolerance and artificial intelligence.

Postmarked Fri May 28 15:38:01 1993 From: best@cs.bu.edu (Azer Bestavros) Subject: CFP: Design Trade-offs in Re-engineering Large Legacy Systems Call for Participation Workshop: Design Trade-offs in Re-engineering Large Legacy Systems Monday September 27, 1993. Washington, D.C., U.S.A. Held as part of OOPSLA '93, the ACM Conference on Object-Oriented Programming Systems, Languages, and Applications. September 26 - October 1, 1993. Organizers: Steven Fraser Bell-Northern Research Ltd., Terrence Cherry Bell-Northern Research Ltd., Stephen MacKay National Research Council of Canada, Large, complex, real-time, legacy systems are frequently re-engineered by design teams using object-oriented analysis and design methodologies. Design trade-offs are often necessitated by performance requirements, limited market-windows, deployment costs and long-term maintenance issues. These systems cannot be re-engineered overnight, but require transition strategies where old and new components must coexist and interact. Workshop participants will exchange experiences (both successes and failures) and develop a consensus on the activities required to bridge the transition between current and re-engineered systems (chaos to order). Consensus will be achieved through the collaborative efforts of all participants. Workshop activities will be moderated by an experienced group facilitator using the techniques employed at the successful OOPSLA '92 workshop "Team Approaches to Object-Oriented Design". Position papers should indicate participants' experience with object-oriented design techniques, the size of their current system (design/code bulk and team size), their design tools, and design processes. To begin the consensus building process, participants are also expected to address the following questions in their position paper: WHERE ARE YOU GOING? How would you personally characterize successful re-engineering? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? What design-tradeoffs have been effective or ineffective in your organization? HOW WILL YOU GET THERE? What steps have you already identified in order to begin re-engineering your system? Participants will be selected on the basis of position papers (500-1,500 words/2-5 pages) submitted by email. Please include a brief biography at the end of your position paper. Deadline for submission is July 30, 1993, and acceptance or rejection will be mailed on or before August 20, 1993. There are no separate workshop registration fees; your OOPSLA '93 conference registration is all that is required to attend this workshop (at minimum, a one-day OOPSLA '93 registration).

PURPOSE This workshop will explore issues surrounding OO real-time system development methods (analysis and design methods issues only - No language issues). We want to address, among others, the following issues: Modeling time; Modeling concurrancy; Time management; Performance of resulting system; Distributed process development; Dynamic processing requirements; Synchronous and asynchronous events; Modeling different types of constraints, such as: performance constraints, resource constraints, integrity constraints, reliability constraints, safety constraints, etc.; Modeling System Reliability; Modeling for Reuse in RTS; Modeling for integrity; Real-time classification; Lessons learned from the application of OO methods in the analysis and design of real-time systems GOALS The goals of this workshop will be: o To list important issues in the application of OO techniques to real-time systems development. o To show how to use OO methods to successfully analyze and design real-time systems. Presentations will be made on opposing viewpoints and followed by a debate session to air views of participants. (6 opposite views with 12 - 20 minutes presentations) All participants must submit, by e-mail, short position, lessons learned, or experience papers. Papers must be submitted by July 30, 1993. Participants will be notified by August 20, 1993. Those who wish to be placed on the waiting list for observers should provide their name, address, phone, fax number, and their e-mail.
